Latest additions: Tuesday, January 2, 2007 Update on Our Campaign to End Extreme Poverty We can't change the whole world in a day, but we can make good progress every day.For ten years we've built a website filled with very effective ways you can Help Yourself and Others. Over five million people have downloaded over 20 million articles from our website. Recently we decided to make ending poverty our very highest priority.

If they're not ready to fully join something that ambitious, I'll explore other ways we can work together towards our common goals for ending poverty more quickly.
